Anne Willans Roasted Potatoes Food

ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, as long as they are all about the same size. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the garlic and rosemary. Generously sprinkle with salt and oil. (The potatoes will absorb a lot of oil and salt; they will taste bland if we don't go big here.)
• Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a sheet tray and roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Check the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to rearrange so the potatoes will have even cooking time and get evenly browned. The potatoes should be nice and brown and really well flavored. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve. Hot potato!

POTATOES ANNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Using a food processor with a slicing blade or a sharp knife, slice potatoes as thinly as possible, 1/4 inch thick or thinner. (Do not place sliced potatoes in water; the starch is needed to bind the layers.)
• Brush bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Starting in center of pan, arrange potato slices, slightly overlapping, in circular pattern, covering surface. Brush with another 1 1/2 tablespoons butter; season well with salt and pepper. Repeat for two more layers.
• Place over high heat until butter in pan sizzles, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer to oven; bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven. Run a small spatula around edges of potatoes; slide large spatula underneath potatoes to loosen. Carefully invert onto a plate, and cut into wedges.

"SPECIAL" ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with water. Bruise the rosemary with the dull side of a knife blade and place in the pot. Add garlic, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes. Drain; let potatoes air dry.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• When potatoes are thoroughly dry, transfer them back to the pot. Drizzle with olive oil, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat. Transfer potatoes to a rimmed sheet pan. Bake until potatoes are golden brown and crusty, and the flesh is creamy and soft, about 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.

POTATOES ANNA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes in large bowl of cold water. Grease bottom and sides of 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Spray 12x12-inch piece of foil with cooking spray.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the thyme and garlic over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly until butter is melted but garlic has not browned. Remove from heat; set aside. In custard cup, combine salt and pepper.
• Drain potato slices; pat dry between paper towels. Starting in center of pan, arrange 1/4 of potato slices, slightly overlapping in circular pattern, covering bottom of pan. Brush with 1/4 of butter mixture; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt mixture. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese.
• Repeat layers two more times, ending with cheese. Top with one more layer of potatoes, brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with remaining salt mixture. Press top of potatoes firmly with metal spatula. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat 5 minutes, gently shaking pan occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking. Cover with foil, sprayed side down.
• Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil; bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and golden brown. Remove from oven. Run small spatula around edge of potatoes; gently shake pan to loosen potatoes from bottom of pan. Carefully invert potatoes onto serving plate To serve, cut into wedges.

AMAZING OVEN ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Rinse and dry potatoes with a paper towel and transfer to a large bowl. Add olive oil, seasoned salt, salt, and black pepper; mix well. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, turning potatoes occasionally. Continue baking until potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes more.

ULTIMATE ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
• Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
• Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
• Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
• Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
• Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
• Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

STANDING RIB ROAST (CHEF ANNE WILLAN)

Steps:

• Remove excess fat from roast, leaving just a thin layer.
• In small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over fat and cut surfaces of roast. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
• Set roast, rib-side down, in heavy, shallow roasting pan in 450 F oven. (Ribs act as a natural rack.) With a paring knife, score the fa and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 F and continue to roast (basting every 15 minutes) until temperature reaches 125 F (medium rare). Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• GRAVY: Keep 2 tablespoons of fat from roasting pan. Set it on stove over medium heat and simmer until juices begin to darken, 1/2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to boil, stirring until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

HERB ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, as long as they are all about the same size.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the garlic, sage, and crushed red pepper. Generously sprinkle with kosher salt and olive oil. (The potatoes will absorb a lot of oil and salt; they will taste bland if we don't go big here.)
• Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a sheet tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Check the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to rearrange so the potatoes will have even cooking time and get evenly browned. The potatoes should be nice and brown and really well flavored. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
• Hot potato!

ANNE WILLAN'S ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes and salt in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain. Score potatoes all over with the tines of a fork.
• Combine cooked potatoes and drippings in a roasting pan large enough to allow the potatoes to roast in a single layer. Transfer to oven, and roast until crispy and golden brown, about 1 hour.

POTATOES QUEEN ANNE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Peel and thinly slice potatoes.
• Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of a buttered shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice, salt, pepper and sugar. Top with some of the sliced green onion, crumble bacon and shredded cheese. Repeat until everything is used, ending with the cheese.
• Pour chicken broth and wine over the potatoes.
• Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is browned. (I usually cook it for an hour because I don't like crunchy potatoes). After 30-40 mins., check dish, if cheese is golden and to your liking, then cover, loosely with foil, to prevent further browning, while potatoes continue to cook until tender.
• Garnish with green onion.
